Definitions
- the present invention relates to a gear housing for an aquatic vessel, said gear housing being adapted to be attached at an attachment site to an underside of a hull of said aquatic vessel.
- the invention relates to an aquatic vessel comprising a gear housing and an aquatic vessel comprising a breakaway safety system.
- propeller-driven aquatic vessels such as yachts, ships or boats
- Such vessels comprise at least one hull and at least one propulsion arrangement supported by said hull.
- the propulsion arrangement comprises an engine assembly providing motive power to a propeller assembly adapted to be submerged in water when the vessel is in operation.
- the propeller assembly comprises at least one propeller shaft, which is coupled to said engine assembly via a transmission shaft.
- a propeller mounted on said propeller shaft propels the vessel through the water when the engine is running.
- the propeller assembly is at least partially accommodated in a gear housing attached to the underside of the hull.
- a gear housing for an aquatic vessel, according to claim 1.
- a gear housing has a longitudinal direction, a height direction and a width direction and exhibits a first end arranged to face in a forward direction when the vessel is propelled forward, and a second end opposite to said first end, which second end is arranged to face in a backward direction when the vessel is propelled forward.
- the gear housing further exhibits an upper side adapted to face the hull when the gear housing is attached thereto and a lower side opposite to side upper side, which lower side is adapted to face away from the hull when the gear housing is attached thereto.
- the gear housing When the first end of the gear housing collides with a submerged object, the impact will cause the gear housing to rotate around an axis extending in the width direction such that the second end of the gear housing is forced up against the hull. Such a collision may cause considerable damage to the hull.
- this problem is solved by providing the gear housing with at least one weakened region that will yield and collapse before the hull and thus allows the gear housing to rotate without damaging the hull.
- the rotation and collapse of the gear housing leads to a concentration of forces to the attachment site that advantageously causes the gear housing to break away from the hull before it inflicts severe damage thereto.
- the gear housing is advantageously but not necessarily attached to said hull via a fracturable member.
- the weakened region is advantageously located at the upper side of the gear housing, extending in the longitudinal direction from the second end.
- other locations are conceivable as long as the weakened region allows the impact receiving part of the gear housing to rotate relative the hull without causing severe damage thereto.
- the weakened region may be of any suitable shape, for example triangular or rectangular, and is preferably arranged such that it has a large extent where a large displacement of the gear housing is expected in an impact situation.
- a part of the gear housing arranged to collapse at an impact comprises either a single wall or a plurality of walls, and the weakening of the weakened region can, for example, be achieved by providing one or more of said walls with one or more recesses, each defining a zone that is thinner and weaker than the rest of the wall.
- This solution is advantageous in that such walls are easily created at low production costs.
- the recesses are arranged at a distance from one another, so that areas of high strength extending in a first direction at an angle, and most preferably perpendicular, to the direction of the impact force, remain between said recesses, providing stability to the gear housing in said first direction. Said areas may, for example, provide stability to the gear housing in the longitudinal direction.
- the weakened region may also comprise an area made of a material of lower strength in comparison with the rest of the gear housing.
- a portion of a gear housing wall may, for example, undergo various treatments, for example heat treatment, that reduce the strength of the wall material.
- at least one portion of a wall may be replaced with a substitute piece made of a low strength material suitable for thin walls.
- the gear housing may, for example, be made of bronze and the substitute piece of plastic, aluminium or stainless steel.
- the substitute piece is easily attached to the gear housing, for example by means of an adhesive or fasteners, such as rivets or screws, or by welding or press fitting.
- the latter solution is advantageous in that it effectively reduces the strength of the weakened region and in that it also reduces material costs and the total weight of the gear housing.
- the substitute piece is easily attached to the gear housing in such a way that it does not negatively affect the flow resistance. Most advantageous is if the entire weakened region consists of only one substitute piece, as this facilitates the mounting procedure.
- the weakened region may also comprise a large aperture in the gear solution, which further reduces the strength and total weight of the gear housing. However, this is not a preferred embodiment as such a large aperture detracts from the stability of the gear housing.
- a reduction of the strength and weight of the gear housing is also achieved with a weakened region comprising one or more hollow portions. If the weakened region comprises one or more recesses, then the recesses are advantageously situated so that they cause minimal flow resistance. Accordingly, if the gear housing comprises a compartment defined by opposite side walls, for example a passageway for exhausts from the engine assembly, then the recesses are advantageously formed in the inside surfaces of said side walls.
- the recesses can also be formed in the outside surfaces of the gear housing, in which case the recesses advantageously are filled with a low strength material, such as plastic, in order to minimize the flow resistance without substantially increasing the strength of the weakened region.
- the gear housing comprises a tail region located towards the second end of the gear housing, where said side walls meet to define a region of increased strength. It is therefore advantageous if the above described recesses or substitute piece are extended all the way to the second end.
- the weakened region advantageously consists of one or more weakenings arranged in a pattern so as to form a more or less continuous weakening when projected on an axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the gear housing, to ensure that the entire weakened region collapses when subjected to an impact force.
- the second object is achieved with an aquatic vessel comprising such a gear housing or a vessel comprising such a breakaway safety system.
- aquatic vessel is susceptible to being implemented, for example, as a yacht, ship or boat.
- the weakened region does not have to be of uniform strength and may comprise areas of different strength.
- FIG. 1 there is shown an aquatic vessel 1 immersed in a body of water.
- the vessel 1 comprises a hull 2 and is equipped with a propulsion arrangement 5 implemented to pull the vessel 1 through the water.
- the propulsion arrangement 5 comprises an engine assembly 3 located towards a rear end of the vessel 1 and a propeller assembly 4 located below the hull 2.
- the propeller assembly 4 comprises two counter-rotating propellers 8, 9 mounted on first and second coaxial propeller shafts 6, 7, respectively, which propeller shafts 6, 7 are coupled to receive rotary movement from the engine assembly 3 via an intermediate transmission unit 13 and a transmission shaft 15.
- the propeller shafts 6, 7, the transmission shaft 15 and the transmission unit 13 are at least partially accommodated in a lower gear housing 10, hereinafter referred to as the gear housing 10, attached to an underside 11 of the hull 2 at an attachment site via a fracturable member (not shown in Fig. 1 ).
- the gear housing 10 acts as a stabilizing rudder for the vessel and has a hydrodynamic shape adapted to minimize the flow resistance.
- the propeller shafts 6, 7 extend from the transmission unit 13 in a forward direction of the vessel 1, indicated by arrow A, so that the propellers 8, 9 are located in front the gear housing 10.
- propulsion arrangements for example an arrangement with propeller shafts extending in a rearward direction of the vessel, are conceivable within the scope of the invention.
- the vessel 1 is about to collide with a submerged obstacle 12 in the form of a rock.
- a side view of a break away safety system comprising a gear housing 10 shown in Fig. 1 and a fracturable member 14 for attaching said gear housing to the hull 2.
- the gear housing 10 has a longitudinal direction, a height direction and a width direction and comprises a first portion 21 exhibiting a first end 22 arranged to face in a forward direction when the vessel 1 is driven forward, and a second portion 23 exhibiting a second end 24 arranged to face in a backward direction when the vessel 1 is driven forward.
- the gear housing 10 has an upper side 26 facing the hull 2 and a lower side 27 facing away from the hull.
- the propeller shafts 6, 7, the transmission unit 13 and the transmission shaft 15 are all located in the first portion 21 of the gear housing 10.
- the first portion 21 comprises a mounting plate 16, which is attached at an attachment site 28 by means of fasteners 17, for example threaded bolts, to an intermediate housing 25.
- the intermediate housing 25 is attached to the hull 2 and constitute an intermediate member between the gear housing 10 and an upper gear housing (not shown).
- the intermediate housing 25 includes a fracturable member 14 comprising a rounded annular recess 19 defining a relatively thin annular fracture zone adapted to fracture in the event of an impact with the obstacle 12, so that the gear housing 10 is released from the vessel 1 without causing damage thereto.
- the transmission shaft 15 is disconnectably enmeshed into the transmission unit 13.
- the gear housing 10 further comprises a weakened region 18, schematically indicated by a dashed line 30, adapted to yield before the rest of said gear housing 10, and in particularly before the hull 2.
- the weakened region 18 is located at the upper side 26 of the gear housing 10, extending from the second end 24 in the longitudinal direction of said gear housing 10 towards said first end 22.
- the coming collision with the obstacle 12 will cause the gear housing 10 to rotate around a centre of rotation located at the upper side 26. This rotation will force the second portion 23 of the gear housing 10 towards the hull 2, causing a collapse of the weakened region 18.
- the collapse of the weakened region 18 thus prevents the gear housing 10 from causing severe damage to the hull 2.
- the collapsible weakened region allows relatively unrestricted rotary movement of the gear housing 10
- the impact forces are concentrated to the attachment site 28 and the fracturable member 14, causing the fracturable member 14 to break. Consequently, the gear housing 10 is separated from the hull 2 before it may cause damage thereto.
- the intermediate housing 25 is sealingly attached to the hull 2 so that no water flows into the vessel when the gear housing 10 is separated from it.
- the weakened region 18 has an essentially triangular shape and is arranged such that the wide end thereof is located at the second end 24 of the gear housing 10, where a large displacement of the gear housing 10 is expected.
- a compartment 31 that serves as a passageway for exhausts from the engine assembly is located in the second portion 23 of the gear housing 10.
- the compartment 31 is defined by opposing side walls 32, 33 and each side wall 32, 33 has an inside surface 34, 35 facing the opposing side wall and an outside surface 41 , 42 facing away from the opposing side wall.
- Three recesses 36, 37, 38 are formed in each inside surface 34, 35, each recess 36, 37, 38 defining a zone of reduced thickness and strength.
- two of the recesses 37, 38 have an elongated shape and run diagonally from near the upper side 26 of the gear housing 10 towards the second end 24 thereof, while the third recess 36 has an essentially trapezoid shape and is located between the nearest one of the two elongated recesses 37, the upper side 26 of the gear housing 10 and the second end 24 of the gear housing 10. It is also shown that said recesses 36, 37, 38 are located at a distance from one another, so that there remain continuous areas of high strength 39, 40 between said recesses 36, 37, 38.
- These areas of high strength 39, 40 provide stability to the gear housing 10 in the longitudinal direction of the gear housing 10, without significantly increasing the strength of the weakened region 18 in the direction of the rotational movement of the gear housing 10 in an impact situation.
- the recesses 36, 37, 38 form a continuous weakening when projected on an axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the gear housing 10, and thus ensure that the entire weakened area will collapse in the event of a collision.
- the side walls converge and meet to define a tail region 50 of high strength at the second end 24 of the gear housing 10, which tail region 50 is provided with an indication of fracture 51 in the form of a slit connecting the outside surfaces of the gear housing 10.
- the slit 51 divides the tail region 50 into a first and a second part 52, 53 located above one another in the height direction and exhibiting opposing, oblique surfaces 60, 61. Seen in the width direction of the gear housing 10, the slit 51 is oriented at an oblique angle to an axis extending in said width direction, so that the first and second parts 52, 53 are arranged to slide past one another in the event of an impact. In this way, the tail region 50 is prevented from causing damage to the hull 2 in a collision.
- a break away safety system comprising a second embodiment of the gear housing 10 shown in Fig. 1 , which second embodiment is identical to the first embodiment except that the slit 54 has a slightly different orientation.
- the slit 54 is oriented at an oblique angle to an axis extending in said longitudinal direction, as seen in said longitudinal direction.
- the slits 51 , 54 shown in Figs. 4b and 5 has such an extension in the width direction of the gear housing 10 that they connect the outside surfaces of the gear housing 10.
- the slits 51 , 54 also has such an extension in the longitudinal direction of the gear housing 10, that a partition wall 55 remains between the slits 51, 54 and the compartment 31, to prevent exhausts from escaping through the slits 51 , 54.
- the slits 51 , 54 may be extended all the way into the compartment and then made airtight using a suitable sealing material.
- a break away safety system according to an exemplary design of a gear housing 10 is shown in Fig. 7 .
- the gear housing 10 includes a weakened region 78 in the form of an area made of a material of low strength, in this case a substitute piece made of plastic.
- Said substitute piece 78 can, for example, be attached to the gear housing 10 by means of an adhesive or fasteners such as rivets or screws or by welding or press fitting.
- the entire weakened region preferably consists of one continuous substitute piece 78, as this facilitates the assembly of the gear housing 10.
- solutions involving more than one substitute piece are possible, as are solutions wherein only a portion of the weakened region, e.g. the tail region, is replaced with a substitute piece.
- said substitute piece 78 will yield before the rest of the gear housing 10 and the hull 2, thus preventing severe damage from occurring to the hull 2.
- the gear housing 10 is attached to the hull 2 via a fracturable member 14 adapted to fracture due to the concentration of loads that is the result of the collapse of the gear housing 10.
- the recesses can, for example, be formed in the outside surfaces of the gear housing, in which case they, in order to minimize the flow resistance, preferably are filled with a low strength material, such as plastic, adapted to yield before the rest of the gear housing.
- the weakened region may comprise any number of recesses of any suitable shape.
- the weakened region may also comprise recesses located in the tail region.
- the tail region of the gear housing may be provided with any number of slits. Slits may also be present in other parts of the weakened region, for example in the side walls of a compartment, in which case they preferably are made airtight by means of some sort of sealing material. Also, a filler material can be used to completely fill the slits and recesses, to give the gear housing a more attractive appearance and to reduce the flow resistance. Furthermore, the slits may be located closer to the lower side of the gear housing as well as closer to the upper side of the gear housing than what is shown in the Figs.
- the weakened region may be located elsewhere in the gear housing, as long as it allows the impact receiving part of the gear housing to rotate relative the hull in the event of an impact.
- the weakened region may also be of different size or shape than the ones shown in the figures.
- a gear housing could also be provided with more than one weakened region.
- the invention is also applicable to gear housings whose second portion consists of only one wall as seen in the thickness direction, or two walls that come together to form a single wall structure in this part of the housing.
- a gear housing may for example be provided with a weakened region comprising hollow portions. Any existing recesses are advantageously located in the outside surfaces of said gear housing
- a gear housing according to the invention may, for example, be provided with one or more weakened regions comprising recesses as well as substitute pieces or portions of the housing that have been treated in order to have lowered strength, that is less resistance to compression.
